The Money of Peru.

The money here in Lima is peculiar to
South American republics. in that its value
is ever rising Gnd falling The miserable,
paper currency-the paper sole
which floods the country, furnishes a striking
proof of the above assertion. At the COM
mencement of the late war large issues of
this scrip were made, To the value of I. ,cG, ,OJe
sterling, the face value being 81, Peruvian
money. When the war closed 80 disaStrouslv,
the value of this paper fell 10 seventy five
cents, then TO fifty, twenty, ten, and to-day a
paper sole is worth hardly five cents The
silver sole dollar is worth seventy five cents,
American money: and the other silver coins
fifty, twenty, ten, five, etc. are valued at
one-half of like determinations of American
currency. The great national debt hanging
over the head of Peru Is the root of this
evil, and it is pleasing TO note that

DIR. EE. N. BROWN.

For the past two years, hundreds of people suffering with long standing chronic and ob- scure diseases which have proved incurable by the old methods of treatment have been cured by the new scientific and rational sys- tenn practiced by Dr. H. N. Brown of 93 Olive street, New Haven. As many are in- terested and desire some reference regarding his ability to cure chronic diseases, he will report few cases and give few names by request and permission, who have tested the treatment and are prepared to vouoh for his unparalleled success, which has been acquir- ed by long years of faithful study and expe- rience in this special branch.
 MT. Frank Maurer, jr., 59 George street, CT. of Orange, says; My wife was blind for five months and treated by oeulists during that time without improvement and we both feel very grateful for the rapid and perma- nent cure by Dr. H. N. Brown and take great pleasure in recommending all afflicted, dis. couraged and hopeless to call and be cured as she was.
 Mrs. s. w. Bailey, 317 Grand avenue, Fair Haven, Conn.-Partiai paralysis of the right arm and shoulder; with great pain much of the time; also severe pain in the head with great prostration which rendered her almost helpless for years; cured in four months by Dr. H. N. Browns new treatment for nervous diseases and paralysis.
 Mrs. H. A. Bond, 164 Martin street, is pre- pared to vouch for the superior merit of the new treatment for diseases of women. She has been long sufferer and doctored much and is competent to judge what system cures. She is now perfectly well, and for the sake of suffering women will be pleased to inform any one interested how easy it is to be cured by scientific treatment.

SAVING SUITS.

We are saving people-saving or plan
 ming to save, time, work, worry, words and money, and we grow rich, not on what is made, but on what is saved: Our trio of Suits, now attracting the attention and money of the city and country, far and near, save hours of overhauling of indefinite stock, much work of trying to get fit, disquietude of mind, no end of speech, and-money. When we have saved all these, what more is there to save. Stay, there is one more our good looks, Well, the suits preserve them.
 The sale proves that the $25 suit exactly
 fits the popular demand. Equal in fabric, American and foreign, in style in manufas- ture to suits made by merchant tailors for S42 to s55. Of this you may be your own
 judge. The patterns of cloth are those so l much in favor for spring and summer wear. All new this season. All styles of sacks and frocks.
 ANOTHER SAVER, the $15 suit. Don't imagine this to be cheap suit (except in
 price) beneath notice and public wear. Not
 at all. You may pay high es $25 else where and get no more. It has merits that l every buyer appreciates. Good cloth, all
 wool, well made, stylish.
 l ANOTHER SAVER-the $5 boys suit.
 It saves the boy-holds him fast-saves the anxious solicTtude of his friends, and saves
 money. It is the peer of any suit sold for l $6, $7, $S. Norfolk cut, with belts, or with
